If you want to learn more about the mechanism you can do your own research.
Fortunately bozi tatarevic is.
The mechanism is complicated with actuators and microswitches.
Tesla model s door handles changed quietly in slight but important way.

This tesla model x trunk is part of a range of cars with various presentations that will vary their power and autonomy which will allow greater.

I learned from a tesla insider that the new handle mechanism has 3 micro switches as opposed to 2 in the older cars.
If you are in the car and want to allow someone to enter just press the button on the end of the gear selector that is used to set park and the handles will present.
The tesla model s door handle looks futuristic and complex and we dig into to see how it actually works.
